The Sensory Arts Garden

The Sensory Arts Garden and Pavilion is a 13,000-square foot therapeutic and educational destination for children and adults, providing a meaningful experience through the exploration of nature and stimulation of the senses. Motor, cognitive, sensory and social skills are stimulated through the variety of plantings, hardscape and water features.

Purposely designed to offer varying levels of sensory experiences, while minimizing sensory overload, the garden sets a precedent for specialized outdoor environments for people with autism and other related disabilities. When individuals with autism engage with nature, they develop not only a special interest in birds, animals or plants, but also opportunities to develop their social skills.

The Pavilion is used as a multipurpose classroom/studio for art shows, events and other gatherings. Within the pavilion, the Foundation continuously features new artwork by artists with special needs or supporting those with special needs.
